Join Hunt’s Photo Education for another entry in our series of portrait workshops where we will be creating dynamic lighting scenarios involving athletes, recreating Media Day! Media Day portraits have become increasingly popular in the sporting world, from the start of the sporting season to major sporting events and more. Media Day photos are used for promotional imagery to showcase the aura of the athlete. Media Day is essential in almost every high school and college.
In this workshop, we will be posing athletes and creating lighting scenarios that all photographers can use as part of their arsenal when creating Media Day portraits. This is an excellent portfolio-building workshop! We will emphasize the use LED lighting, including Nanlite and Aputure lighting, as well as other elements that help build the atmosphere of your images!
This workshop will be co-taught by Hunt’s Photo Educator Paul Nelson and professional photographer Henry Marte. Both have extensive portrait experience and will take you through the full process of lighting a subject, how to properly expose while using strobes, and how to actually use the strobes themselves!
Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
